Order of the words in a sentence
Could you check whether the order of the words in the following sentence is right? Also, I'd like to know whether I can exchange the order of (A), (B), (C) and (D) freely in the sentence.
I go [ (A) to school ] [ (B) with my friend ] [ (C) at eight thirty ] [ (D) on Mondays ].
I go [ (A) to school ] [ (B) with my friend ] [ (C) at eight thirty ] [ (D) on Mondays ].
Top answer
Not completely freely, no. g. "I go at eight thirty to school on Mondays with my friend", don't sound good.

Not completely freely, no. Some, e.g. "I go at eight thirty to school on Mondays with my friend", don't sound good. Your order is fine.
Some valid variant orders are not covered by your permutation as they involve putting C and/or D before "I go".
